Editors' Choice 2024 - OneUp 7050-T6 aluminium bar
The excellent OneUp Aluminum Handlebar has been our go-to bar whenever we've needed to run a 35mm rise bar on... anything. "Bars are a key component on a bike and can change how a bike rides and feels. I’ve always been a fan of alloy bars over carbon (ride feel, durability etc.) and since getting a set of OneUp bars for review they’ve become my favourite set and replaced my trusty Burgtec go-to bars. The shape and sweep (800mm wide, 5°, upsweep, 8° backsweep) just feel ‘right’ and suit me, but it’s the general ride feel that is the most impressive. The ovalised shape genuinely adds an element of compliance to the ride, reducing vibrations and adding an element of damping. Goldilocks would be a good term. Not too stiff, not too flexy, just right. Yes, I would like a slightly higher version, but otherwise these are some of the best bars I’ve tried and I’ve no plan to replace them." - Ross For Editor's Choice Awards from the Singletrack team head to https://singletrackworld.com/editors-choice-2024/
